Abstract

Korisne asocijacije kukaca i mikroorganizama širok su i kompleksan pojam odnosa i u novije vrijeme predmet su mnogih istraživanja. Zbog brojnosti i raznolikosti obje skupine organizama, njihovi odnosi su vrlo složeni i značajni u ekološkom i ekonomskom pogledu. Kroz brojna istraživanja dokazan je utjecaj ovih asocijacija na biljni i životinjski svijet, ljudsko zdravlje i gospodarstvo, te posebno na sektor poljoprivredi. Osim obostrane koristi, pozitivnog učinka i uzajamnog pomaganja, neke od stvorenih asocijacija mogu biti i štetne, djelovati ograničavajuće ili letalno. Ovaj rad daje pregled dosadašnjih spoznaja o raznolikosti i funkcijama takvih asocijacija, učinku specifičnih tvari mikroorganizama (bakterija gljiva i virusa) na domaćine (kukce), te suvremenim metodama koje se koriste za njihovo proučavanje. Kroz prikupljanje relevantne literature daje se i uvid u nove strategije za kontrolu štetnih kukaca.

Abstract (english)

Beneficial associations between insects and microorganisms are a broad and complex concept of relationships that have recently become the subject of many studies. Due to the abundance and diversity of both groups of organisms, their interactions are very intricate and significant from ecological and economic perspective. Numerous studies have proven the impact of these associations on plant and animal life, human health, and the economy, especially in the agricultural sector. Besides mutual benefits, positive effects, and mutual support, some of those associations can also be harmful, limiting, or lethal. This final work provides an overview of current knowledge about the diversity and functions of such associations, the effects of specific substances produced by microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) on hosts (insects), and modern methods used for their study. By reviewing relevant literature, it also offers insights into new strategies for controlling harmful insects.
